While we rant about racism, seems no one gives a fuck about sexism.

I’m the first person to call out misogyny. Calling someone a Karen is no different than calling someone a Dick. It’s simply a label that has cropped up the last few years to pinpoint someone acting in a socially unacceptable manner - in this case, someone who is exploiting their privilege, at the expense of another person, often in a racist way.

The male supremacists would be destroying statues of women now except that few exist.

Or Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett? Or violinist Karen Briggs (ranked in top 100 of all time)? Or astronaut Karen Nyberg?

And all of you laughing at this should be ashamed of yourself and quit using being against racism as a cover to post this misogynistic garbage.

I'm surprised that Aunt Jemima kept selling all these years.

We never bought Aunt Jemima products in our home. My mom never bought them and I was born in 1956. My husband's sister would buy the pourable mix for her kids. We were raised on Bisquick and Log Cabin. (Aunt Jemima may be have been a better quality product than Bisquick for pancakes, but my mom would never buy it and I never did)

However, we were big consumers of Cream of Wheat, so there's that....... (However, there was no suitable substitute for Cream of Wheat..Malt-o-Meal was even a bigger PITA to make than CoW and didn't taste as creamy) Also being Armenian, shipments of Cream of Wheat saved many lives and is staple in many of our desert recipes.
